texmfstart ctxtools --pat

was successful. But

sudo texmfstart texexec --make --all

(which worked with the last ConTeXt installation)

and

sudo -H texmfstart texexec --make --all

failed with the error message

sudo: texmfstart: command not found.

Fortunately,

sudo texexec --make --all

still works, so life goes on.

Still, why is this happening?

Does it matter that I have the line

alias texmfstart='ruby /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/scripts/context/ruby/texmfstart.rb'

in my .profile rather than an executable version of the texmfstart script in my $PATH?

If it does, is there a way to set things so that texmfstart is automatically available to the administrator and user 

whenever a Terminal session is begun?
